Ex-Wedtech Chief Gets 27 Months for Perjury: The former president of Wedtech Corp. was sentenced to 27 months in prison for giving perjured testimony at the trial of E. Robert Wallach. Anthony Guariglia’s false testimony caused an appeals court Friday to reverse the racketeering convictions of Wallach, a close friend of ex-U.S. Atty. Gen. Edwin Meese, and two co-defendants. The perjury case stemmed from Guariglia’s testimony during the summer of 1989 against Wallach, a San Francisco attorney who was charged with taking illegal payments from Wedtech officers to lobby Meese and other officials on government contracts.
